奧巴馬出訪動盪不定的歐洲

U.S. President Barack Obama embarks on a four-day trip to Europe this week. He leaves Washington Monday night for stops in Poland, Belgium and France.

The U.S. leader's trip to Europe comes at a time when Russia has made threatening moves on Ukraine. There is also deep uncertainty about Ukraine President-elect Petro Poroshenko's ability to stabilize his country. Mr. Obama will meet with Mr. Poroshenko in Poland.

President Obama will confer with U.S. allies Wednesday and Thursday in Brussels at a Group of Seven meeting that was quickly arranged after leaders decided to boycott a meeting Russia had been scheduled to host this week.

In France Friday, Mr. Obama will speak in Normandy at Omaha Beach for a ceremony marking the 70th anniversary of the allied D-Day invasion against Nazi forces in World War Two.美國總統奧巴馬本星期將開始對歐洲的四天訪問。他定於星期一晚上離開華盛頓，出訪波蘭、比利時和法國。

在奧巴馬總統準備出訪歐洲之際，俄羅斯針對烏克蘭採取了具有威脅意味的行動。人們不能確定，烏克蘭當選總統波羅申科是否有能力維持國家穩定。奧巴馬將在波蘭會見波羅申科。

奧巴馬星期三和星期四將出席在布魯塞爾舉行的七國集團會議，與美國盟友進行磋商。七國集團成員國領導人決定抵制俄羅斯原定於本星期主持的一次會議，隨後很快安排召開七國集團會議。

星期五，奧巴馬將在法國諾曼底奧馬哈海灘舉行的盟軍二戰諾曼底登陸70週年紀念儀式上發表演講。
